Tulip Town Hosts Contingent of Sustainable Ag Researachers and Educators For Farm Tour

July 29 2015

Earlier today, a contingent of the Western Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education association visited our friends Tom and Jeannette DeGoede at Tulip Town. Visitors to Tulip Town will recognize that the photo was taken in front of the great Jennifer Bowman mural we all enjoy and behind dozens of bins which will soon hold bulbs for fall planting.

The group included reps from Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Micronesia, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming, and, of course, Washington. They were also scheduled to visit our friends at Taylor Shellfish while touring the area in a bus from Bellair Charters.

The Mission of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is to coordinate and promote a countywide Spring celebration of the tulip bloom, in commemoration of the valley’s annual tulip harvest, and to be an advocate for Skagit Valley agriculture.
